Support survivors of the Hatay earthquake

Dear friends,

We are shaken by the devastating earthquakes that hit South East Turkey on February 6, 2023. My hometown Hatay, an historic beautiful city that has been the home of many past civilizations, that sits right on a fault line has been hit the hardest. At least 90% of the buildings are down, and the remaining ones are inhabitable with the death toll rising rapidly. There is currently no power, heat and a massive shortage of basic needs, while several people are still waiting to be rescued from the rubble. Given the old infrastructure and difficulty to access, rescue operations still haven’t been effective and reach the majority of the city. It will take months and years to rebuild the city and heal the trauma and wounds left behind.

I am putting together a fundraiser to help the survivors of the earthquake from Hatay. The funds will go directly to the individuals who lost their homes and will be in dire need of resources to rebuild their lives in the aftermath. The priority will be given to those with small kids, the elderly and pets.

Please join me in this effort and help spread the word.

Much love and gratitude,

Rezzan
